Analytical Robotics and Mechatronics

Front Cover
McGraw-Hill, 1995 - Technology & Engineering - 570 pages
This introductory text emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of engineering, making it accessible to all students with a background in dynamics, circuits and systems. To bridge the gap between treatments at a technological level and those dealing with advanced topics in robotics, the author continually provides connections and transitions from background to new material. A broad range of topics is covered, from kinetics and sensors to microprocessor control, and the text unifies the components of machine design, dynamics and solid state electronics.
